How
does a construction contractor from a tough Brooklyn neighborhood
become an impassioned animal activist?
Directed and produced by Jenny Stein and James LaVeck of
Tribe
of Heart.
Synopsis-
In
the award-winning documentary THE WITNESS, Eddie Lama explains
how he feared and avoided animals for most of his life,
until the love of a kitten opened his heart, inspiring him
to rescue abandoned animals, become a vegetarian, and ultimately,
to bring his message of compassion to the streets of New
York.
With
humor and sincerity, Eddie tells the story of his remarkable
change in consciousness, sharing along the way some of the
shocking realities of the meat and fur industries.
Featuring
the song "Angel" by Sarah McLachlan, this is a
story of beauty and transcendence in the face of tragedy
and despair.
